We are so excited to announce that LES will have a student council this year! Mrs. Angela Luffman and Mrs. Sarah Duprel will be the teacher sponsors for this group of students. To be on student council, students must be in 4th or 5th grade. Students interested will go through an election process. The elected students will represent all grades in our school. There will be an interest meeting on Wednesday, August 27 at 7:30 a.m. in the science lab. We can't wait to see what this group will do this year!

Turtle lays eggs on the Viking Greenway today! The yellow-bellied slider is a medium-sized, semi-aquatic turtle native to the southeastern United States. They are known for their distinctive yellow markings and adaptability, thriving in various aquatic habitats. The yellow-bellied sliders have smooth, oval-shaped shells with yellow stripes and vertical bands. They have a prominent yellow patch behind each eye, which is most visible in females and juveniles. Nesting occurs in late spring or early summer near water. Nests usually contain 4 to 12 eggs. Typically 60-90 days to hatch, but the young MAY stay in the nest for a long time, even over winter. These guys may not because it is so early in the season.

Latta Schools will operate on a two hour delay on Friday, January 24. Buses will pick up two hours later than normal time and schools will take in two hours later than normal schedule. Breakfast and lunch will be served. Please remind your child to bring in their eLearning work from Wednesday.
Due to freezing temperatures and expected dangerous road conditions, Latta Schools will be closed tomorrow (1/23). The state allows 5 eLearning days. We used our 5th day today. Therefore, tomorrow will be a closure. We will make up this day on Friday, February 7 which is a scheduled teacher workday. All teachers and students should report on February 7.
All Latta Schools will have an eLearning day Wednesday, January 22 due to the forecasted wintry weather. Your child's teacher will send home eLearning assignments today. See our website for eLearning expectations. Please encourage your child to complete their work and turn it in on the day of return.
We're thrilled to announce the new app for Latta Schools!
